The controversial rapper and Trump supporter made it clear she's regretting her vote in a series of tweets.

Controversial rapper Azealia Banks has buyer's remorse, making it clear she regrets her vote for President Donald Trump in a series of tweets, describing him as an "absolute disaster" who exhibits "crazy old white man anger."

Banks, who had previously attended a Trump rally and initially declared support for then-Vice President Kamala Harris—citing Elon Musk’s involvement in the Trump campaign as a dealbreaker—ultimately reversed course.


Despite writing that Musk “belongs nowhere near American politics. The End,” she later cast her vote for Trump and posted a photo of her completed ballot online.

But now, amid global trade wars, attacks against transgender people, the deportations of thousands of undocumented immigrants, Signalgate, the ongoing scandal involving a man trapped in a deadly El Salvador prison due to an "administrative error," defiance of the Supreme Court—among a host of other issues—it seems Banks isn't too happy with herself, or other Trump supporters.

She wrote:

"Ok I think it's time everyone who voted for Trump admit that we made a f**king mess. Like this is an absolute disaster."
"He's so petty and vindictive rn. Tbh, rightfully so, but not when the wellbeing and livelihood of billions of people - damn near the entire world lay in your hands. Someone needs to get him a cute little lorazepam rx and a high grade ashwaganda supplement because it can't happen like this."
"Nobody on Earth is afraid of crazy old white man anger. Old white men need to reinvent the archetype because it’s too predictable. Like China is just DUNKING on everyone right now.”

While people didn't necessarily disagree, many felt these statements were a little too late for the MAGA rapper and known contrarian.



While it's still unclear what spurred Banks to write the tweets, she can pretty much take her pick of any of the scandals of the last few weeks.

Gavin Newsom Rips Pete Hegseth For Suggesting Press Is Only Reporting On U.S. Casualties To Make Trump Look Bad

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized by California Governor Gavin Newsom after Hegseth accused the press of only reporting on the negative effects of President Donald Trump's attacks on Iran.

Trump has said that the U.S. military was "knocking the crap out of Iran" but the "big wave" of attacks is still yet to come, and has not ruled out putting boots on the ground, saying the war is progressing "way ahead of schedule." Trump has urged Iranians to revolt, even as the regime reshuffles leadership following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and some of his associates.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
